General Discussion

Hi,

I am user, very satisfied, with portable apps but i have some problems: FF 23.0.1 frozes every time i use it (a few seconds) why?, and the most important Opera 12.16 is outdated, and now it is in 16 version why Opera is not updated?

I recently had to help someone that had some malware installed on his computer. This malware also prohibbited the execution of *.exe files. To solve this I had to download rkill.com. Now I wanted to add the rkill.com in the portableapps tree structure. But when I do a "refresh apps icons" only *.exe files are added but not the *.com files.

Could anyone please tell me what to do about it? Is itrealy not possible or have I missed someting?

The alt text for cdrtfe Portable is for CrystalDiskInfo Portable.

One of the bugaboos nuts like me, who overload their computers with a lot of programs, run into is the over demand/utilization of system resources.

When not running a portable app does it eat into the system resources or only use resources when actually being used?

When creating something to be used in other programs, that might not be available in a portable form, how is that data preserved to be available to the more classical programs?

TIA

I have a Java jar file which I need to open with Java 6. JavaPortableLauncher I believe runs Java 7 (if installed).

I need to have both Java 6 and 7 on my USB stick. How can I run the specific jar file with Java 6 while also keeping Java 7 on the USB stick for all other applications?

I think this is important: Which are "100% portable" and which are not?

Of all the apps in PortableApps.com, can someone please list down for us, the ones which are "truly 100% portable" and the ones which are "not fully portable."

1.) 100% portable - doesn't leave any trace on the host PC that is used.

2.) Not fully portable - leaves some trace or saves data on the host PC.

For example:
---------------
Some portable software saves data in Windows Users Folder, ie: C:\\Users\\ApplicationData \\ AppData \\ RoamingData \\ LocalData and the like.

Chrome is an easy install with PortableApps, because 1) flashplayer works immediately compared to FF that requires a detailed installation to become portable and have lagging issues; 2) Java works too, but maybe only because it is already installed in portableapps commonFiles folder; 3) there are no plugins - only extensions; 4) and you can write your search in the URL so without the searchbar there´s more space for webpage.

So I am looking at my icon when I am in the File Manager on Windows Vista, and you know how you can change the Views so you can see icons, lists, details, etc? When it is in Medium or Large View, it looks like the icon is just a expanded version of the Small View or the List viewss, so it is pretty raggedy.
Is this normal or was there going to be different icons for different resolutions? Or was that just for screen resolutions?
Would you be open to having the small logo file icon be a tad more detailed? The other windows native file icons seem to scale better bigger.

Since yesterday I have found that opening the PortableApps.com website is possible only with a delay of several seconds. This issue I've detected in connection with the use of the Internet Explorer v10.0.9200.16660 and Firefox v23.0.1.

Its ment to be breezeyboy not breezeybpy, Please fix/change it.

Thanks
